Out of a population of 320 million they pick this two twats.

AIBU to expect the USA, with a population of 320 million, to come up with better candidates than Trump and Biden?

Yeah, bewildering.

It is beyond depressing. I’m so disappointed that Biden was chose. Trump actually has a decent chance no ffs. Pretty sure he’ll win. :(

It has had me baffled for years.

I know. Mind boggling.

The best and brightest? Hugely depressing.

It’s absolutely inexplicable.

I know OP, I can't help feeling there have to be far better candidates out there than Tweedledum and Tweedledee...

But then I look at my own country (Ireland), and the godawful politicians we always have to choose from, and suddenly I'm not so smug.

I couldn't believe that Obama wanted to work with Biden anyway. it's still so hard to believe they went from Obama to Trump.

Being a world leader is a much younger man's job. I think 40-65 should roughly be the parameters.

Apart from age, having only the choice of these two candidates is quite abysmal.

Yay! All we need now is for little Richi to fuck off and Boris to stand for our glorious leader again (I’m sure he would win the general election for the Wonderful Caring Tories!) and we’d back in the Golden Era. Hurrah!

(Yes, I am taking the piss)

Yeah, cos our past 5 PMs have been brilliant, haven't they?

We get the government we deserve.....

I don't think we're in a position to throw stones with our glass house of Sunak, Starmer, Johnson, Truss, Corbyn ....

It's always baffled me. Ridiculous and beyond depressing. All to do with money apparently.

Yes, and in Scotland we have had Nicoliar and now Useless. All those wasted years of total incompentence.

Joe’s too old and not the best man for the job but he’s not a twat.

We're not doing much better ourselves 😞 ( uk )

In my opinion... Biden is simply a puppet that is controlled by higher powers (banks, WEF etc.). Trump is a vote against the higher powers, or 'deep state' or 'swamp' as he calls it.
Basically, the western financial system is reaching the end of its life and Trump is popular because he wants to oversee the revolution.

They haven't been great but they didn't try and illegally claim an election result and then incite violence when it didn't go their way
And the party can get rid of their own leader.

None of whom started an insurrection

I agree they have hardly shown themselves to be outstanding politicians but compared to Trump they look almost competent

I fear for the US if Trump gets in again.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

It's mind-blowingly expensive to run for political office in the US. I remember Clinton expressing frustration at the amount of time he had to spend greeting fundraisers and donors. Much of his time seemed to be scheduled by his advisers whose job it was to get him (re)elected.

It's a dysfunctional system that's a plutocracy in all but name.

I fear for the world if Biden gets in again. Needs to be in a care home

I fear for the world actually. Ever heard the phrase 'When America sneezes, the world catches a cold'?
